Last week I purchased a Willys MBT on which I will now be spending the rest
of the summer in stripping down and restoring. The trailer does not have the
original Willys
plate, but the documentation that followed with it when it was sold out of
the Norwegian Army gives the chassis nr as 2081. I have not yet started
working on dismantling it so cannot confirm this number, but if it is
correct can anyone tell me when it wld have been built ?
The trailer also has a plate showing that it was rebuilt on the 9June1954 by
229th Ordnance Base Depot. Anybody know anything about this unit ? At that
time would they have been in the States or in Europe ? All tips are welcome.
The plate also shows a number "JO# P4000454" What does that mean`?

Hope to hear from you,

Regards,
David Hammond, Oslo, Norway
